Chelsea Flower Show Celebrity Day 2012

Sir Cliff Richard, Piers Morgan, Trevor McDonald and Vanessa Feltz. What do these celebs all have in common? They were all Chelsea Flowers Show attendees this year.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show plays host to almost as many celebrities as plants each year! Entertainers, journalists and the general rich and famous fly in from across the world for this show.
